What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 March 2023

Pupils flourish at Wellfield Infant and Nursery School. There is a strong sense of belonging among pupils and staff. Pupils said that they feel part of a family when they come to school. They trust staff to deal with any worries they may have. If bullying occurs, leaders deal with it swiftly and sensitively. As a result, pupils feel safe and happy in school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), embrace the school values of 'care, respect, learn and succeed'. They show genuine kindness towards each other. Pupils live up to leaders' high expectations. Pupils, including those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), engage in purposeful learning activities. As a result, they achieve well in a range of subjects. Children in early years are exceptionally well prepared for key stage 1, while pupils in Year 2 are equipped for the transition to junior school equally well. Pupils relish all the opportunities that each day brings. They readily take part in the range of clubs on offer and are excited to play new instruments, sing and perform. These experiences celebrate pupils' talents and interests and help them to develop their confidence. Pupils learn about looking after themselves and the world around them. For example, they enjoy their yoga lessons, which they say make them feel calm. Eco warriors encourage their peers to recycle and explain why this is important.
